Venin Brother Bodhi or Jack in Onyx Storm

Описание: 💥 SPOILER AND THEORY WARNING for Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros 💥

In Xaden’s chapter at the end of Onyx Storm, we learn that there is a new venin “brother” that watched Xaden stumble for the past five months and someone Xaden never thought would turn.

Since Xaden uses the word “brother”, it would mean that we’re looking for a male character eliminating Imogen.

The five month time period would also indicate that Ridoc and Sawyer are out. And probably Brennan too since the book makes it seem like he didn't find out until Xaden asked him to try and mend him.

That leaves Bodhi and Garrick…and maybe Aaric if we assume that he got his precognition powers towards the beginning of Onyx Storm.

Aaric would definitely be a shocker but our gut says he’s been planning for a while with Xaden and is going to help negotiate with the other isles so he wouldn’t have turned.

Garrick is a logical choice given his relationship with Xaden, but we don’t learn a ton more about Garrick in the book that would cause us to believe he would have any desire to turn.

That leaves Bodhi. This book provides a clear picture of what’s going on with him internally and how he sees his role as being by Xaden’s side. Plus, we know his signet (at least the one we know about) isn’t super helpful in fighting the venin making it reasonable to assume that he would want to find some way to make a difference. Additionally, he’s made it VERY clear that he doesn’t want to rule Tyrrendor.

So we’re all in on Bodhi being the one that turned venin. He’ll be at Xaden’s side and hopefully working to help him defeat the venin from within.

Unless…Jack f*cking Barlowe escaped and that’s who Xaden is referencing.
